Anxious for a Lynch1ng.

LOUISVILLE, April 29.-The mayor
late this afternoon issued a proclamation
calling on all good citizens to remain at
home to night and avoid all gatherings,
adding that he would do all in his power
to preserve good order, etc. While the
mayor was inditing the proclamation 500
men gathered in front of Leiderkranz
hall The i%anitor refused them a~dmittance
and the police were endeavoring to dis
perse them, when DR.. Berry, a well known
physician, mounted q barrel and said hat
since the the brutal assault on Miss Bow
man nom of our women and children felt
any security, and while he was opposed to
mob law, there was nothing to be done in
this case but lynch the negro fiends. The
law had again and again failed to
to punish murderers. If this crime was
not atoned for a chance would be missed
to set a terrible example to hundreds of
idle, worthless and thieving negroes who
infected alleys and slums of the city.
The doctor was cheered frequently.
The meeting afterward adjourned to a
hall near by, where the names of about
100 citizens who it was believed would
join an organized effort to lynch the ne.
groes, were selected. Other speeches
were made, and it was determined to
meet at 10 o'clock tomorrow at the court
house.
Despite the mayors proclamation on
the squares and about the jail to night
are densely packed with men. Beyond
keeping them about half a block back, no
efforts have been made to dispense them.
On Market street about 100 men are
marching up and down, each with a piece
of rope tied to his Urn. The mob ap-
pears so far to have no leader, and
seemed to be watching out of curiosity
for something to turn up. The police
and militia are determined to defend the
Jail, and if an attempt is made in the
night or in the morning. there will be
bloodshed.
Jennie Bowman is still suffering in
tensely. The physicians say there Is no
hope for her recovery.
IL P. M.-The soldiers have just been
marched from the armory to the jail and
are now stationed there. A gatling gun
and a squad arc also on hand. Ten
thousand people are surging to and fro on
Jefferson street, but so far good order
prevails.
At 1870 a. III. the crowd about the
court house square have dwindled down
to 300 Or 400 people, and these arc dis
persing gradually. Three hundred and
fifty soldiers with a satling gun, and $50
armed policemen stand guard at the iaiL-

The Train Robbers.

Benson, Arizona, April 29.-lntelli-
gence has been received that the train
robbers have been spotted and it will only
be a question of time before they are
captured. The officers do not wish to
make ar immediate arrest for fear sufi.
Gent evidence cannot be procured to con.
vict. United States Marshal has tele-
graphed the mail authorities at Washing
ton, urging them to offer an additional
large reward, which, if the request is
complied with, will almost insure capture
and quick conviction. 1t is now reported
that a special officer has been in Ell Paso
for several days watching for this occur
renee to take place in that locality, being
forewarned by outsiders who got an ink
ling of the fact that an attempt would be
made somewhere on the line of road, but
the robbers took time by the forelock,
showing unusual sagacity in making the
raid in this vicinity, where hardly anyone
suspected such an affair would take place.

Investigating the Union Pacific.
New YoRK, April 29.-At the open
ing of business before the Pacific rail-
roads investigating commission to-day,
President Adams of the Union Pacific,
said he wished to make a statement. He
had noticed that there was q disposition
on the part of some newspapers in giving
an account of his testimony, to comment
disparagingly en- his testimony; that he
had not examined the books and accounts
OF his company. He wished to say be
was no book keeper. He must accept the
statements of his book.keepers. He said
the Omaha and Nebraska road was oper-
ated proftably as a branch of the Union
Pacific. The Oregon Short Line was
built in 1881. when it was thought the
Northern Pacific would not be built for
many years. Tho road is Clio miles long.
Along Bear river it is grazing, farming
and mountain country. For 200 miles it
runs through lava beds, but as sage brush
grows there it could easily be converted
into an agricultural region.
The Union Pacific had guaranteed the
payment of the Oregon Short Line bonds
on the advice of Sidney Bartlett, Judge
Dillon and other counsel of the road.
They maintained or advised that it was
legitimate without the consent o~fcongress.
Governor Pattison said that the act Of
congress stated: That the road shall not
issue or guarantee the issue OF said bonds
without permission of congress" Mr..
Adams said he knew that, but he obtained
the written opinion of counsel. He was
not a lawyer and must be guided by them.
He was an officer and was aware that if he
was himself liable he must suffer the pen

Denver and Laramie

DENVER, April e9.-The people of
Laramie City. Wyo., through the board
of trade Of that city, recently sent a
lengthy statement of their desires to have
the Denver, Utah & Pacific narrow
guage road extended from its terminus
north of Denver TO that city, to the
chamber Of IN here. The state
ment set forth the advantages of such a
road to both cities and settlers in the in.
termediate country and the large traffic in
stock, wood, lumber and mineral which
would accrue to such road. The board of
directors OF the chamber met and heartily
endorsed the proposition on the grounds
that the py. posed route would open one
of the richest undeveloped sections of the
state. Further correspondence and per-
sonal conference between the two organi-
cations and managers of the railway mem
toned will follow soon.

A Barbarous spectacIe.

CITY OF MEXICO, April 29.-The nov
city OF a bail fight by electric light drew
an immense crowd to Colon Plaza. Among
the spectators were President Diaz and
several members of his cabinet. The arena
was brilliantly lighted by ten electric lights
and the gaudy uniforms of the matadors
fairly blaZed. The door of the bull pen
was thrown open and the first bull made
a frantic rush at the picadors and in a
minute was master of the arena, having
killed n horse and gored two others.
One matador and a picador we're laid out,
though not killed. The fighters became
very timid and piled their swords from the
side, being afraid to face the animal as is
usual. Of five bulls every one was des-
perate in the blazing light, and horses and
fighters were rolled over and tossed about
in n terrible manner. One swordsman
attempted to kill a bull as he charged and
was caught on his hotns and tossed out of
the arena almost l~iieless. The result of
the fight vas tour horses killed, several
torn and crippled, two matadors nearly
killed aud several picadors disabled. The
dazzling light seems to make the animals
wild. This was the first time bull fight
ing has been tried by electric light.

The medical authorities are pretty much
agreed both here and in Europe that dis
ease germs may be transmitted III milk,
and, to quote them Blyth), there are
ON record "a number OF well anthem
ticated outbreaks Of typhoid fever, Of
diphtheria and of scarlet fever in which
no reasonable doubt exists as to the
milk having played the part Of an infected
garment and conveyed the disease. The
exact way in which the poison gained ac-
cess to the milk in these various cases has
not always been clear, but we may pre-
sumo that adulteration with specifically
tainted water, the handling Of dairy uten-
sis by persons whose hands have been
soiled with the discharges of the sick, the
dropping Of epithclial scales into the milk
cans in the course of transmission, are all
possibilities and are likely to have the eff

that the tuberculous matter can be traced
